Message	but engines that rely heavily on turbo boost to produce power have been known to behave badly in the hands of unexperienced drivers. Something to think about... But, really, the only way I ever learned how to control a skid was by...spinning out. Since I never really had a good place to practice, I learned when it really happened on the road. I guess the lesson there is, make sure the kid knows how to control the throttle and countersteer in a spin. Then again, articulating the throttle is much easier on a NA motor than a turbo monster like a rb26dett.
